Hi.
This is 100 % curable with proper antitubercular treatment and you have to keep him under care of Medical Pediatrician and Surgical- Pediatric surgeon... This is connected with your question.
With the help of both there may not be necessity to have operation.
Most of the children heal fantastically without any problem.
So do not worry
And the best part - the boy has not yet been diagnosed completely.
It is vary rare to get abdominal tuberculosis in this age group. It may be just abdominal lymph nodes / worms/ appedicitis is not uncommon.
